About Cent

The cent, though not part of the metric system, is a widely used customary unit for land measurement in southern Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.

Unlike the biswa with regional variations, the cent enjoys a standardised value across these states. One cent is equivalent to 40.46 square meters, or roughly 435.6 square feet. This consistent value makes it a convenient unit for land transactions and property descriptions.

The cent finds particular application in measuring smaller land parcels, often used for residential plots, agricultural fields, or real estate development projects. Its size falls between a square meter and an acre, offering a practical unit for precise measurement.

While the government encourages the use of hectares for official purposes, the cent remains deeply ingrained in land records, property listings, and everyday conversations, especially in rural areas. This necessitates conversions when dealing with official documents or comparing land sizes across regions.

Understanding the cent is crucial for:

Navigating land purchases or property rentals in South India.
Interpreting land records and property details that use cents as the unit of measurement.
Comparing land sizes within southern states where the cent is the preferred unit.

Given its widespread use, familiarity with the cent is essential for anyone involved in land transactions or property dealings in South India.
